No, the button marked Inch is for manually feeding when adding new wire.
When you go into Manual Mode an indicator light switches from A(Amps readout) to M/min(wire feed speed readout).
It may have automatic heat addjustment- according to wire speed settings- if it do i think i would send it back while its under returns - timing.

Hey JohanM.,
Since you asked . . . . itâs been now too hot four days in a row. We set 150 year records for this early. And trying to keep ahead of the rapid Spring growths I sunburn fryed my winter white naked neck not switching over to the broad brimmed summer sea-grass hat.
We are in the inner base of our 1200 mile north-south mountins range. Sun energized thunder storms build up and let loose over us yesterday. 60 lighting strikes and 45 minutes of deluding raining. (The heaviest I have ever experienced)
The satellite TV system recovered, o.k.
The separate satellite Internet system did not. Fried.
And I am now drying out three vehicles Iâd had the windows partially down for ventilation.
So now back to one-hour daily of taxpayer paid public library wi-fi.
Ha! Ha! So I will be seeing just had badly I will be âjonesingâ from my step-by-step evolved these past three Covid years, of internet-anytime habit!!
Regards
Steve Unruh

Yes, I think the Synergic Mode is meant to be easier to lock in. It adjusts the wire feed when youâre seeing how many Amps youâre putting out. So whatever 30-160 Amps is equivalent to Inches/Min is that. Or you can go to Manual Mode and see it in Feed Speed instead of Amps.

It was miserable hot and humid! Yesterday was crazy, temp dropped 30 degrees in an hour the house was sweltering hot inside as the lighting strikes were raining down all around us! Didnât need a maintenance fire last night, stayed plenty warm through the night. Now back to 70 degrees today before noon. I got that Sun violence on my whiteness as well, left arm out the window is lobster red and back of the neck

That heat and humidity makes you question the sanity of everyone from South of the Mason-Dixon line, doesnât it?
Itâs a cloudy 82°F here today in the warehouse. We arenât allowed to wear shorts unless itâs forecasted 85 or above outside.

I was wearing shorts this weekend, for me thatâs as rare as big foot riding a mountain goat into down town Seattle with a lip full of Copenhagen and drinking mountain dew with a slung shotgun on his back

It seems as the weather is way more crazy there in your and Marcusâ area too, no recordbreaking stuff here.

I just stated what the amazon ad diagram said. It used for wire feed in Mig mode only so it might kick off during manual mode. I couldnât find a manual for it online or even a company website. Although I did read 1 review that said you could email them, and they would send a new updated manual. They are a registered trademark of WENLING AWT MACHINERY CO.
while looking for a manual I ran into this cheaper one that has dials more like you are probably used to.

option 3 has the mig and tig torches without the extra crap for 214.

Just getting the garden ready to plant is taking most of what energy I still have. Still about 3 weeks away from getting stuff in the ground and my green house is full of plants really anxious to be transplanted. Still getting frost a couple nights a week. In northern climates you get one chance to grow something so you want to be a prepared as possible before you go to soil. I have ground about a hundred gallons of char the last two days, stored from the wood stove this winter. Still have about a hundred to do.

Big power outage for the area. They called office workers at the local provider to come back in to take reports. I bet there was a wreck that hit a transformer or substation, or telephone pole. Some have daisy chain infrastructure, we have a Barrel of Monkeys infrastructure. One link knocked out, everyone adjacent goes out too.
Our cable company claims itâll be back by 9pm tonight, it is 7:39 as I write. Doubt power will be that quick.
I was out in the neighboring town getting my momâs spare car inspected and they had power. Must be in my immediate area.
I hate to be the one telling mom âI told you soâ and insisting we get an interlock kit for the house, but I did tell her so.
At least my habits of keeping all the power tool batteries charged up has paid off, we have a few tool battery power supply units to keep phones charged. Essentials first. I keep the freezers filled in the top racks with bottles of water so it acts like an icebox when the power is out.

We got a fence built around the front pasture yesterday.
Yâall are complaining about 85 f
yesterday it was over 100 f. then this rain moved it it cooled down to a high of 90f today.

Wonât be long til we get 100 around here. Probably next week if not sooner. The rain has been keeping it low for the time being.
Edit: 85 outdoors is an easy 95 in a big warehouse. Building doesnât have air conditioning or any sort of air movement except in the sensitive chemicals rooms, and the office spaces of course. Iâm used to being sun baked on a parking lot washing cars so just heat is preferable to sunstroke and 2nd degree sunburns. If I get hot Iâll just drink more water and roll around in the forklift to catch a breeze.
It gets hot enough to melt these wax/LDPE pellets used in injection moulding.

Nothing but windy chilly today here in michigan- forecast said 77 degrees f- but it felt more like 67 f and windy. I prefer 67 f and windy though over 100 f and muggy. Then again we seldom reach 95 f here in central michigan area.

That is a nice looking fence Jacob. Straight as an arrow. Do you have an auger for that skid steer? That would be a tough job digging holes for posts that big with a post hole digger. Are those posts black locust? I know a couple of guys in S. Indiana that use it for all their fence posts. I donât think it grows around here. 100 degrees. That sound just like hell. Iâd rather be at zero than 100.

Windy chill with temperature above 70° F? We are most of the day well bellow 60° F and mornings are cold enough to have steam running out of your mouth. But still it is enough for plants to prosper.
Potatoes planted two weeks ago already peeking out of the soil.
And tomatoes are quite happy with the weather since last weekend. Even Monday hail did not impact them.

Yes we have an auger for it. we donât use it much but when we do it is sure nice to have.
the posts are just hardwood cross ties. Also known as railroad ties.
they were originally used for sea walls on the lake near us. I did mechanic work for a crew that replaced them with concrete blocks. I snagged a big stack of them out of their burn pile before they burnt them.
